Thanks already I used to live at a campus dorm where you would get 10 Gbit outbound traffic per 24h. If you used more than that, they would cut your access for 48h for the first violation, then for a week on the next violation. You would get no warning. Although this often was more than enough, I guarded myself, by monitoring my network usage. After 8 Gbit outbound traffic, I would throttle my bandwidth to say 1 Mbps, and when hitting 9 GBit, to say 100 kbps, and so on. (Actually this was more granulated, with some traffic cut off earlier than some higher prioritized traffic) I used some ipfw counters, and a cron job to parse the output of ipfw show. Then I would enable some dummynet rules accordingly. This was some years ago under 4.8, I think. Now, I think pf has better support for this kinds of setup.
